TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether pound sterling can be used on an insurance certificate for entry into Thailand. While some participants share their experiences, notably that insurers can accept various equivalent currencies and specifically mention using GBP, others clarify that US dollars are generally preferred. One user discusses their successful use of a UK-based insurance policy that covers specific medical conditions, affirming its acceptability by Thai authorities for visa purposes.

Any of you that bank with Barclays they do a brilliant deal re travel insurance which includes various current medical conditions you may have.

Covered for £10m which is on the policy document Inc covid. This document accepted by the Thai's for visa and Thai Pass purposes providing you name and policy number is on it.

Valid for multi trips 31 days at a time which you can extend for an additional fee up to 90 days.

As they should be to get some the to the people who are suffering terribly. The charity we follow are giving out hindreds of 'life bags' each week. Very sad yet inspiring to see this happening.

My wife entered with policy with EUR. GBP not sure but I would assume their phrasing is equivalent to the amount stated in USD.
